Jon Bernthal's Punisher is slated for a comeback following the conclusion of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, in a Marvel special reminiscent of a Guardians of the Galaxy style adventure.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Bernthal will co-write this Marvel special with Reinaldo Marcus Green, director of We Own This City.
"It's a high-octane narrative, yet retains the emotional depth expected of a Frank Castle story," commented Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television. "It's incredibly exciting."

News of this Punisher standalone special emerges as Marvel Television prepares the Defenders' return to Disney+. This street-level superhero team, featuring Matt Murdock's Daredevil, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Finn Jones' Iron Fist, last graced our screens on Netflix before their transition to Disney+ and integration into the MCU.
Winderbaum previously shared with Entertainment Weekly, “The creative possibilities are thrilling. Unlike comic books, we're bound by practical considerations like actors' availability and production scale when building a cinematic universe, especially for television. However, these limitations haven't diminished the creative excitement; we're actively exploring these opportunities.”
Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th, continues the Daredevil narrative initiated on Netflix, featuring returning characters such as the Punisher and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk (Kingpin). This time, the threat is the art-obsessed serial killer, Muse.
